My air conditioner is not blowing cold air. It has plenty of freon. The AC clutch engages right at start up for 5 seconds then disengages. The air blows cold momentarily while the compressor is running. As soon as it disengages it start blowing cold air. I have replaced the cycling switch, but it did not fix the problem. What else could it be?

I figure it out. It was the temp sensor in the intake. Apparently the sensor went bad and so the computer thought the engine was overheating. So the computer shut down the air conditioner. Nothing was actually wrong with the A/C.
